Best Snakes Poems

T' was a shallow creeping envy,
Of a deviant design;
It slithered In quietly undetected,
To prey upon unsuspecting minds.

It built up false images and verses,
A phoney talent in every way;
Taking slander to its highest levels,
And breeding hate his favorite play.

He blinded his band of followers,
To carry out...

We come to you soft.
Swaying back and forth.
You hear music,
as my body dances toward you.

 You seek trust, 
from these darkened eyes,
as they stare right through you.
They add all the mystery, 
a man is in search of.

 A flick of the tounge, 
like we are...

a journey

arrival
The cancer within.
Just another place to be.
(Whatever that means).

hello, now
You look different
than I imagined, filtered
through those gamma rays.

what's up doc?
Shall we slice, dice or
nuke today? My good doctor,
practice on me, please!

calculating cost of repairs
What is the value
of a human life? Do you
have health insurance?

With elan springing forth from young age
Enthusiastic to take centre stage
All his wits he was able to gather
And proceed to the foot of the ladder
Effervescent – a smile on his face – 
No misgivings, of doubt not a trace
Rung by rung clinging on to elation
Reaching...

Trouble, trouble in the mown rye!
Sneaky snakes slither round and by,
silently squeezing through rubble
in the mown rye, trouble, trouble!

Sneaky snakes eat rats in the field,
mice and bugs that damage the yield. 
Common problems farmers must beat.
Rats in the field, sneaky snakes eat. 

Friendship extends to...

Have a Guiness and let’s toast St. Patrick
Whether laddie, lass or old codger geriatric
A bold gent with such clout
All Eire’s snakes he shooed out
Never has there been a saint so theatric!

Jannes & Jambres cast their spell
On the ground their rods fell
Moses,brother did the same
In each rod a serpent became
Aaron's consumed them both,to verify God's oath

Lord, we are so grateful fer the gracious bounty of Yer Creation!
But there are some things You created that cause us some vexation.
We appreciate that You've given us ice cream, bagels 'n' strawberry shakes,
But was it vital that You created mo'skeeters, spiders 'n' snakes?

Thank You...

Hopkins snakes

Old Hopkins had a rope ladder,
To keep snakes out of the house,
Snake killing sticks under the rain water tank,
In the shower, where a snake ate the mouse,
The fowls all lived up in the trees,
Brownies were sucking eggs down, (deadly mulga snakes,  dozens)
The bantams...

There could be rats and snakes hiding in here.
Yes, I am talking about asps and cobras, big ones.
Hiding under the bed, no, not in my head, under my bed.

Okay, what about way back there, in the darkest corner?
Did you check out THAT corner? My voice...

"A Game of Snakes and Ladders"

It’s like a game,
a game of 
Snakes
and Ladders,

some spend their lives
climbing ladders
up the corporate sticks
sliding all the way 
back down on their sore
sweet and sorry revelations
soap boxes thrown and burnt
like needles lost in hay
we all become 
redundant at some point
on...

Snakes and Ladders


I'm not perfect
Never can Be

lower-sense materiality
You are not perfect
Can't you...

The story is told of a Maori King bold
Who dared cheat the Prince of Siam.
I’ll leave it to you to decide if its true.
But if you're not convinced, at least I am!

This king was annoyed so he filled his bored void
By selling the fauna of...

'Tis said Saint Patrick rid Erin of snakes

   If such is true what a great tale it makes

      Skeptics claim it ain't true
